Yes We Can / John He Is / No You Can't

So, this is why the Internet is so great. Inspiration leads to more inspiration leads to something a little less inspired but still pretty damn amusing.

So, Barack Obama's "Yes We Can" speech (which was pretty damn good) inspired Black Eyed Peas frontman will.i.am to create a surprisingly effective celebrity-filled music video where Scarlett Johansson sings ...along with others. (Who knew Scarlett could sing?)

Jesse Dylan (son of Bob) shot the thing and you can watch it here...



The video then spawned john.he.is a brilliantly funny take-off how John McCain's speeches are, well, not just unispiring but anti-inspiring. See it here...



This being the Internet, however, the story doesn't stop here. Yet another take-off has emerged entitled "No, You Can't," which isn't quite as inspired as john.he.is but still lands some good gut punches.



It'll be interesting to see how far this goes...
